Bill grabbed Joshua's boot and stumbled backwards. The two of them disappeared into the portal.
Determined not to lose their prey, the next squad opened fire on the next most evident threat: Teddy Carlyle.
Squad 3 opens fire on Teddy. (1d20+7=24, 1d20+7=15, 1d20+7=16, 1d20+7=13, 1d20+7=11)
damage rolls on Teddy (2d10+2d10+2d10=34)
Three more shots slammed into Teddy. Half-unconscious, half-sick, Teddy's knees started to give out when he looked up-- up?-- at Brigitta.
If he went down now, she'd be alone.
He struggled to his feet, determined to hang on...
I'm going to houserule that Teddy can use his Die Hard feat to keep going, although he is staggered. You can take a move action or a standard action each round. If you take a standard action, you take another point of non-lethal damage, and if your non-lethal damage exceeds your CON, you will drop to dying. Yes, dying.
Anytime before that, of course, you can just choose to fall unconscious.
However, having said all that, I need Teddy to make three Fortitude saves (DC15) against nausea.
These alien green crystal rifles are really unpleasant!
It should go without saying that if you want to spend an AP on Defense, you need to let me know!
Brigitta = 17
Squad 2 = 17
Joshua = 16
Rawley = 13
Teddy = 4
Squad 4 = 4
Squad 1 = 3

Brigitta
[OOC: Damn, I guess I am up...]
Brigitta stifles a scream and ducks behind the swaying Teddy. She attempts to grab onto his shirt and pull him back through the blue portal...
[OOC: With a miserable "3": http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=313884]
Brigitta's hand slips from Teddy as she staggers into the blueness...

Fort saves for nausea: 18, 25, 6, 17, 23 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=314066
I'll wait until my initiative to do anything else, but I WILL use an action point to add to my defense if I get shot at again.
And did Brigitta just leave Teddy behind? WTF!?
The beams from the crystal staves knock Teddy to -4. His Die Hard feats keeps him conscious but staggered, and any standard actions will result in additional non-lethal damage. When that non-lethal damage reaches 14 (Teddy's Con), he will be dying. Gotcha.

Teddy heard Brigitta gasp behind him, and then she was gone.
The officers were still barking orders at the four squads remaining in the room, trying to abate the rising bloodlust of the creatures.
Teddy heard a sharp cry from above. Looking up, he saw another alien creature standing on a balcony overlook of the room.
This one was different. Its voice was more subtle, more sibilant, but the effect it had on the crocs was instantaneous. This alien looked almost human-- scaly, but human-- but as it continued hissing out orders, Teddy saw its neck flare with anger.
It was hooded, like a cobra.
The snake-like creature vaulted the balcony, its rich cloak and vestments billowing around it as it fell gracefully to the chamber floor. It whipped out a red, rapier-like crystal as it fell, and almost as soon as it landed, thrust its rapier through the heart of the nearest croc officer. The croc winced for a moment, then let out an agonized roar as its heart exploded in flame. In an almost instantaneous flash, the croc was reduced to ash from the inside out.
The remaining croc officer urged the next squad forward with a guttural, croaking roar. The big reptiles jostled each other in their eagerness to close with Teddy.
Rifles came out... Teddy winced.
... and they ran right past him.
Into the portal.
Rawley = 13 (preparing his kit)
Teddy = 4
Squad 4 = 4
Squad 1 = 3
Teddy is up. However, you failed that third save against nausea. As such, all you can do on your action is move. Well, vomit and move.
Or move and vomit.
Limited options, sorry.
